Summarygreat case, nice look, the adjustable fan speeds are nice and the blue leds look great, the fleet release doors and built in hot swap drive are nice touches, only bad things are the lack of cable space behind the rear panel, recent upgraded to an nzxt phantom 410 and love it, but the df30 is still a great case

SummaryI got it on special for somebody. I must say I had a bad time with the cable management and this case doesn't have what other gaming cases I work with have (clips for the HDDs, clips for the dvd drives, removable parts, etc.). Since it was on special I guess it's good for a budget PC, but there's better cases for a few more bucks. I guess Antec is jsut not my style.. But Yeah it does the job.

Prosblack interioramount of fans for pricepretty quiet with fans on lowgreat air flowblue leds(top fan has none)fan filters

Consexpansion slot covers are punch out and can not be re-added could have longer front panel connecters

SummaryMy favorite case I have owned and I am kind of surprised there are not more reviews for this one. Price matched but I still would have went with it even without the PM.

2 exhaust fans(rear 120mm and top 140mm) and 2 intakes(front 120mm). The intake fans have easily removable fan filters on them. The filter really trap a lot of dust and after 3 months there is very little dust inside the PC.

I purchased the Antec TriCool 120mm blue led case fan for the side window and also got a Mod Right fan filter to add to it since the case does not offer one. Adjustable fan speed and with all fans on low it cools well without being loud.

You also add and remove the hard drives from the front door which is great. Fit everything into it with room to spare including my Zalman cooler which is quite big. I am really happy about the room because I did not have the space for a full ATX and the cheaper price of a mid ATX was nice as well. It also has a black interior and a spot to help a bit with cable management. It also has a cut out where the CPU fits to be able to add after market CPU coolers without taking the mobo back out, although I never tryed as this was a new build and I installed it on the mobo before placing in the case.

The only thing I would have liked would be removable expansion slot covers. The ones on the case have to be punched out and can not be re added but its not that big of a deal and maybe slightly longer cords for the front panel connectors.

ProsTop mounted easy access SSD drive Bay.Easy access to the front fan filters for cleaning.Led lights on three of the 4 case fans, creates a nice look.More hard drive bays than i know what to do with.Flat black both inside and outside adds to the image.Side vent with clear wall allows extra air flow, and an optional 4th fan.

ConsHard to open the covers over the CD/DVD rom bays.

SummaryThis tower is amazing and I'm absolutely thrilled to be the first one to write a review on NCIX in regards to this product. I made no mistake in ordering this and I am happy to say that i have a case that is going to last me for a very long time. There is more than enough drive bays to add as many hard drives as one needs. The design is superb and that is important as people need to realize that your tower is also apart of the decor in a room. The LED (Blue) lights in the fans are not over done and add to the over all look and feel of the tower. The top mounted SSD drive is an excellent feature as it allows easy access to a SSD drive without taking your computer apart to get at it.
